-
Check the label on your rhinestone sweatshirt to see if it’s machine washable or requires hand washing. If the label recommends hand washing, follow these instructions.
-
If the rhinestone sweatshirt has a zipper, zip it up and turn the rhinestone sweatshirt inside out. This is very important. Otherwise, the rhinestones will "bump" against the washing machine!
-
Use a gentle detergent that does not contain bleach and is not too harsh to avoid damaging the crystals.
-
Select a wash program for delicate fabrics or mix water and detergent by hand in a bowl and gently soak the sweatshirt.
-
Do not use hot water as this may damage the crystals. The recommended temperature is cold or lukewarm water max 30 degrees.
-
Do not shake the rhinestone sweatshirt while drying, as this may damage the rhinestones or cause them to fall off. Pour off excess water from the sweatshirt and gently squeeze it out by hand.
-
Dry your sweatshirt flat, preferably on a towel, away from a direct heat source such as a radiator or the sun. Avoid tumble drying.
